PhpList Mailing List script
Have you guys heard about PhpList? Maybe it isn't new, but I just learned about it:
One of the features I like about it is:
"Batch Processing. To facilitate shared hosting environments, you can specify the maximum number of emails to send in a time period you identify. This can also be overridden by ISPs who can set these values server wide to apply to any PHPlist installation on that machine."
For those of you who might not know...
Normal hosting accounts are placed on what they call "shared servers" -- which means your site shares the same server resources as a few hundred other sites. To prevent one user for using up all of the system resources they usually only allow each site to place 1,000 messages in the queue at one time.
Batch sending lets you get around this limitation. You can program this mailing list program to send 1,000 messages every 12 minutes or so... I've found that setting works in most cases, but it would depend on the load of the server.
I don't have any personal experience working with this program. I just wanted to give you a "heads up" about in case you're looking for something like this.
